I have a Mechman 240 amp alternator ready to go but I'm being lazy about installing it because I am noticing zero issues with the system as is on the stock alternator. I even have a noco 5 amp charger for when I need it but I haven't had to use it yet. It's either the batteries or all that high quality wiring or both.

@@snauspockets9924 I have an AGM up front only. I kinda went with the largest one I could get for the car. I think it’s the wiring that has my lights dimming.

Question: My 79 Mark V died in The middle of the street. I found that the alternator was bad, and just not charging the brand new battery that was installed (only 2 days before). Tested the alternator while the car was running, and it was not charging the battery. I have an aftermarket sound system in this car. It's a 800W amp split between 2 12-inch subs. Should I change my factory alternator which I believe is 60 to 70 amp, or should I get like 100 amp alternator? Or, will that burn my battery, and should I just stick with a 60 to 70 amp alternator? Any good advice would help, thank you in advance.

Depends on the power you want to run. Anything 2000 watts and over, upgrade your alt and run at least one extra battery. I'm at 6000 watts on two 15s and have a 300 amp alt on three batteries. One up front and two in the back. And your wire is also very important. Don't skip on wire. OFC is the best to run over CCA. It's more conductive and transfers current much faster.

[@L-Noble.YT_Hi.Res-Soundminds]

Yes but you need a high amp alternator 400 amps plus at least. An Extra rear battery or more than one. To support that wattage you will need good copper OFC wire with two runs of 1/0 or 1 bid 2/0 wire for the big three because 1/0 only supports like 3,000 watts or something like that. From the alt to the front battery and from the battery to the back for the system. The grounds need to be the same size as the power wires also on the big three.

[@crunkwun]

Depends on your vehicle.. if you have a 4 cylinder.. stay away from big alts. Your vehicle will have a hard time trying to turn that alt. I have a 425a alt on a V6 and notice the difference in performance. It's sluggish on stand still to gassing it. A 250a or 300a+ alt would be better.

What about a Honda Accord 2014 lx can it handle it

[@junebugdajkr7354]

I need a mechman for a 2012 veloster base model

[@flsabvb7578]

Thank you for the information 💪

[@RydinginStyle72]

2021 F150 5.0. No high output alternator? I can't find one anywhere. Unbelievable.

[@denniswalker1640]

Do yallins, Carrie high quality, tweeter caps, or can you point me in the right direction, and how to choose the best caps

[@sorryimajerk735]

YEEEAH MANE WE GOTS DEM SHITS ALL UP IN DIS BITCH YA SAYIN HOW MANY DEM SHITS MY N YA NEEDS MANE

[@chrisfiske]

Can you mix alternators like both being 12 volt but ones a 270 and I just got a 400 mechman can I hook them together so they both helping out

[@wooferl7]

Yes as long as both are charging at same voltage. Alternators will only put out what is asked if them. Regulator sees a loaded put on it and they kick on to send the required amps

[@chrisfiske]

@@wooferl7 it’s still computer controlled so it should be the same but I didn’t know if the 400 amp would charge more then the 270 I just didn’t wanna mess one of them up cause they were two different amp output, I didn’t know if that would make any difference… when I first got my 270 it was around 14.5 it’s about 3 years old now and it’s sits around 14.3 so adding that 400 amp alt should help pick my voltage back up then… I just didn’t want the bigger alt to mess up the smaller one basically but thanks for the info and ya the time you took to write it…🔊🔊

[@Pittsburgh-412]

@@chrisfiske for real tho I would run the vehicle and the mids n highs off the 270 and the 400 amp for the bass

[@chrisfiske]

@@Pittsburgh-412 that’s what I have now but I’m still using the factory alt and battery for the truck and I have two limitless lithium’s in the back for the sub amp and the 270 only runs it and the mids and high amp but if the 400 amp alt keeps up better then I may still split them up and just have all three alts on the truck I did everything I could to keep as much power as I could to the amp lol thanks for the advice fr

[@christopherbenefield8201]

Would you need a second battery for a Sundown sfb 2000 in a Chevy Silverado

[@vincebowling1778]

In my opinion, yes. That extra battery will give you reserve power and help your vehicle voltage from starving.

[@crunkwun]

Step 1: sell that SFB amp and stay well away from that line Step 2: Buy a salt amp instead Step 3: upgrade your alt to 250a + (depending on your vehicle)

[@dg2041]

@@crunkwun Question what is bad about the sfb line i keep hearing they are garbage i was going to buy but ur comment got me 🤔

[@crunkwun]

@@dg2041 I'm in many basshead pages and the sundown page aswell.. They're Chinese full bridge amplifiers. Very touch and go.. you have to put a load on the speaker terminals before you power on or it will blow.. many have asked why their brand new sfb amp has gone into protect and won't come out. Last I heard they were discontinuing that line.. so stay away from it. If you're wanting to go full bridge just go Brazilian.

[@dg2041]

@@crunkwun Damn , I'm going to get a Salt 8k instead or is it something wrong with those too?

[@jeremybroderick9465]

I have 3 alternators for my audio system separated from the cars existing charging system, no way im putting al the surge on the cars electronics(OBD transmission, body and engine control boards!)

[@ag3ntslug3r90]

Great videos and knowledge mr price.

[@lylegoodluck]

I should get high output Alternator before I get amg battery?

[@THELIFEOFPRICE]

That is answered in the video

[@Sky-wh1yd]

Thanks for explaining that in a way that was easy to understand

[@darenobrecht6161]

i thought you upgrade your alternator when you need more amps. like if you wanna run higher rms subs say 3000 rmsso you need an amp that puts out that amount of rms. but a stock alternator doesnt have enough amps so you upgrade it. like i went from 130 amp stock alternator in my accord to a 240 amp one so i could run higher rms amps and speakers. so this is wrong? whatever you were talking about is clear as mud. are you talking about alternators or batteries or what? or are you talking about purely competion sized systems and not daily drive one or 2 sub systems with a simple1 or 2 mono blocks and a 4 channel or two 2 channel mids and highs amp or amps?

[@jamesr3623]

Thanks for making it clear.👍👍

Great information well explained thank you.Maryland showing ❤️

Whats the biggest alternator I can fit on a 93 suburban?

[@shanegarry6214]

Was looking to purchase a Amp website saying there out of stock

[@vincebowling1778]

Mechman now offers a 500 amp alt. Yes, 500 amps! I've heard it's a beast.

[@doncgez1673]

I want to put a subwoofer into my Volkswagen Jetta, but ever Volkswagen video I see on KZbin shows the alternator overcharging and the factory fuse box burning up, what is a recommend wattage amplifier I can use for my car without burning it down. Love your Tahoe install.

[@Big_TD]

Hey, you should be ok, just do the big 3 upgrade and a aftermarket fuse holder , remove the stock alternator wire and fuse, the oem fuseblock is pretty trash. i have a mk4 golf running 6k amplifier just fine (mechman 370)

[@scottgoveiareptiles]

I bought a xs power d925 and my volts still dropping
